I'm into Chi-Town heroes like Fred Hampton

And neighborhood Deebos, the rebirth of D. Rose

The eye of a eagle, I keep on the people

Some gettin’ repoed, some Niclo

Since I was a shorty I had vision like Calico

Opportunity knocks, I'm lookin' through the peephole

In my daughter’s laugh, I can hear a deep soul

E was my first love, now I'm on the sequel

Heart stay open, in you I keep gold

Crossroads of beast mode to peace mode

Southeast cold, Avalon to Eckersall

Too much on my back to set it off

From the offset, I just wanna be, be, be

Like Cardi or 'Oncé, or Harry Belafonte

Whenever I eat, my peeps get the same entrée

Like they my fiance

It ain't easy, when niggas like, "Feed me"

When I ain't got it they don't believe me

Read me truth, lead me truth

The birth of freedom can't be induced

We reproduce, so our fruits can see

The fruit's a harvest for the world

That the mustard seed produced

Faith walk my thoughts through yellow tape and chalk

Tiger style, gettin’ it back on course

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well

They want us to be in jail

But you know we’ll never fail

We goin' up, yeah, we goin’ up

No this soul is not for sale

I won't put that on them scales

And I know we will prevail (Will prevail, will prevail)

Man, I'm strugglin', man, I be strugglin’

'Til something inside tell me to come again

Like when you ****in' and you get another wind

I'm from the City of Wind, that's another win

Take the L, green line, red line, get your paper, headlines

Tryna feed your fam, get fed time

It happens, trappin' and rappin' got us backed in

To a corner, it's normal for black men

The Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley reenactment

Savion with a beard, yo, I'm tapped in

Stretch money and make it do a back bend

Frontin' niggas try to front you on the back end

Live from the Chi' where, guns be clappin'

Poetic justice, with raps I'm snappin'

Meditatin' took Kamasi song, ask him

Robbin' in Baskin, our heroes ain't masked men

When I do it, Com' do it with passion

My compassion for brown and black skin

In the hood I used to backspin

Now I'm spinnin' back in the hood

When I'm back, "Yo, what's good?"

If you stand up, then that's understood

I tell the black sheep, "Don't react to them wolves"

Crib love, our heroes are on murals

So five Euros get told in their earlobe

That they can let fear go

Souls clear the way, let these palms pirouette

Or pirouette, in the silhouette of blackness and cigarettes

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well

They want us to be in jail

But you know we'll never fail

We goin' up, yeah, we goin' up

No this soul is not for sale

I won't put that on them scales

And I know we will prevail (Prevail, prevail)

I-I-I-I don't support the rights of people

Because I'm a politician

I support the rights of people because it's deep within me

A natural part of my own development

I am the outroll plan of this father and mother

A-And the results afforded to my years of struggle
